The maintenance department is outstanding. Could not get this much responsive attention anywhere else! I like the regular cleaning of the door windows and carpets. I would like to see some window washing annually of the exterior, high, unreachable windows.

I moved into The Emory of Altoona six months ago and couldn’t be happier with my decision. My beautiful, spacious two-bedroom, two-bath apartment has exceeded my expectations. The management and maintenance teams are truly top-notch—responsive, professional, and always willing to help. One of the main reasons I chose The Emory was its excellent location, the beautiful floor plans, large patio space, and the many amenities available to residents. And yes, I am definitely taking advantage of the ...
swimming pool! The neighbors are friendly and respectful, creating a welcoming atmosphere while maintaining the quiet, peaceful environment that makes this community feel like home. I highly recommend The Emory to anyone looking for quality apartment living in Altoona.

Nice property overall with modern apartments, a good location, and amenities that make it feel comfortable. Apartment living definitely teaches patience and “community awareness,” but management is usually friendly and responsive when concerns are brought to their attention. Most residents are respectful, and for the most part it’s been a decent place to live.

You can easily hear mostly everything outside and the neighbors below you. The recycling comes very early in the morning and wakes us up. Nice apartments themselves, I just wish there was more sound proofing done.

My daughter and me are loving it here so far. Good quiet place to be. Really love the ladies in the office. They are very nice. Get to know you by name. They enjoy when the kids come in and talk to them after school

Love my apartment! When I have needed maintenance help with my refrigerator, someone has always come that day or early the next day! It is so nice to have maintenance people we can trust!
